I don't know. I think everyone is anxious to grab the reigns of the fracturing party and go against the easy target Trump
I can see it playing other exactly as the gop 16 primary. The mask has been falling off these people.

I can see it playing out exactly as the DNC 04 primary.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

like every time i look at whats happening it loving eerily mirrors a lot of what happened at the turn of the 20th century with economic dissent, massive inequality, and parties pushing down the progressives only for them to rise heavily in popularity despite that. we're also probably on route to an even worse recession than 2008, which might be the catalyst.
